I hope they don't try and keep people in the military after they've lost a limb

A bet after a few weeks of practice, your mind just assimilates it, and all the little foot switches and controls just become second nature.Too fucking cool.

The interview is much too quiet. Could have used more light on the amputee as well.

Modular - does that mean that there are options for awesome attachments? like drills, guns, swords, etc?? Man, if i were and amputee, I'd try to add all sorts of cool shit to my luke arm....

I think all military amputees need them. Even the new ones, they sacrificed their bodies and lives for their country. I think they deserve it.
